Raggle is a rescue terrier who plays many roles around Christmas time. That’s because her human, UK-based photographer Peter Thorpe, turns her into different animals and characters from Christmas. From Scrooge to a penguin, Raggle is the star of funny and cute holiday scenes that her dad then makes into Christmas cards.
Thorpe first got started with this unique Christmas tradition by photographing his first rescue terrier, Paddy back in 1990. He continued the tradition with Raggle.
“Two dogs, three children and 25 Christmas’s later, creating these images has become something of a family tradition and a lovely record to treasure,” says Peter.

Dr. Doug James and his dog Gucci changed Alabama animal cruelty laws for the better many years ago. Doug did not set out to champion animal welfare in the state. He hadn’t even planned on getting a dog. But fate intervened around 16 years ago to change that.
When Owen met Haatchi, the lives of one adorable little boy and one great, big dog were destined to change forever.
Owen-known to his family as “little buddy” or “Little B”-has a rare genetic disorder that leaves him largely confined to a wheelchair. Haatchi – an adorable Anatolian Shepherd puppy-was abused and left for dead on railroad tracks. He was struck by an oncoming train, and although his life was saved, his leg and tail were partially severed.
But kind-hearted Will and Colleen Howkins, Little B’s father and stepmother, decided to introduce the big dog and the little boy to each other, and an unbelievable bond was formed that transformed both boy and dog in miraculous ways.

The day Randy Grim got a phone call from a St. Louis animal shelter worker pleading with him to take yet another unwanted dog to his no-kill shelter, he had no idea that the dog would change his entire life.
The dog had survived a horrifying procedure still practiced in some animal shelters: “euthanasia” by carbon monoxide gas poisoning. The account of Quentin’s ordeal and the crusades Grim and Quentin have undertaken on behalf of abandoned animals is sobering, hilarious, and ultimately uplifting.
Quentin recently passed away, and Grim shared a eulogy of what Quentin meant to him. Read more here.
Elke Vogelsang began taking photographs of her three rescue dogs, Noodles, Scout and Ioli, as a way to make her husband feel better. One Christmas Day, Elke’s husband, Carsten, suffered a major brain hemorrhage and had collapsed in the bathroom. If it had not been for the dogs discovering him in time and alerting her, he may have died.
In the months that followed, Elke turned to photography as a way to establish a routine and to find something to lift her husband’s mood. She immediately tapped into the playful energy of her dogs and her portraits capture their goofy, fun-loving natures in a way no other photographer I’ve seen does. And after taking on her project, she turned to photography full time.
After his grandmother’s 100th birthday party, photographer and dog lover Pete Thorne placed an ad asking to photograph “really, really old dogs”. He wanted subjects for his photo project, a project to create simple, intimate portraits of dogs in their golden years.
In their aged, imperfect faces, he saw a depth of life, joy, and wisdom missing from more youthful subjects. He gathered these rich and powerful portraits into a web series he called “Old Faithful.”
Oogy was just a puppy when he was used as a bait dog in dogfighting. He was found severely injured, missing an ear and with deep scars riddling the side of his face.
He lay hurt and in a cage without food or water for at least 5 days before he was found by police. Larry Levin knew nothing of this when he first saw Oogy at the vet hospital. Levin and his twin boys (then 12) were taking their elderly, terminally ill cat in to the vet hospital to be euthanized. Oogy was in the same hospital, tugging on his leash while he was being walked by hospital staff. As soon as he saw Larry’s boys and broke from his leash knocking down one of his sons and smothering him with kisses.
The family were instantly smitten and asked after Oogy. They were told about his horrific ordeal and learned he was homeless. That’s when they decided to adopt him.
